-Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+# Building the firmware
+
+[Install the build tools.](https://docs.qmk.fm/getting_started_build_tools.html)
+
+In the root directory of the repository, build the firmware with a command like:
make ergodone-default
-See [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/build_environment_setup.html) then the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/make_instructions.html) for more information.
+For more information on the layout option and other ones, see the [`make` guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/getting_started_make_guide.html).
-# Flashing the keyboard
+# Flashing the firmware onto the keyboard
-The ErgoDone uses an HID bootloader rather than the Teensy one, and requires a different way of flashing the firmware.
+The ErgoDone uses a customized HID bootloader rather than the Teensy one. It doesn't need an OS driver, and the required actions before flashing are a little different than with an ErgoDox.
-1. While plugging in the USB cable, hold the two right-most keys on the top row of the left half of the ErgoDone to enter FLASH mode and flash a hex file.
+1. To enter flash mode, disconnect the keyboard first. Then, on the left-hand device, in the top row, press and hold the two rightmost keys while reconnecting the keyboard.
